Ignorance begets more ignorance.
I have heard some KJV-only-folks make some pretty stupid statements regarding bibles, but this has to take the cake. This church (I don’t want to give them free advertising, so I am not publishing their name) is planning on burning books that they have deemed as Satanic. Such Satanic books include the “heretical Billy Graham and Mother Teresa”, but the kicker is that they are going to be burning any non-KJV bible at this (soon to be annual) Halloween fire festival. Things like this make me embarrassed to be a Christian.
Proverbs 26:20-21
בְּאֶ֣פֶס עֵ֭צִים תִּכְבֶּה־אֵ֑שׁ וּבְאֵ֥ין נִ֝רְגָּ֗ן יִשְׁתֹּ֥ק מָדֽוֹן׃
פֶּחָ֣ם לְ֭גֶחָלִים וְעֵצִ֣ים לְאֵ֑שׁ וְאִ֥ישׁ מִדוֹנִים לְחַרְחַר־רִֽיב׃
To see the ignorance for yourself go here.
This is a post that needs to be featured on Scotteriology (if it hasn’t all ready made its rounds over there).
I couldn’t agree more with you.

The irony in the name of the church is saddening and maddening.

If I ask myself, “Do I oppose a book burning that includes the ‘Left Behind’ books?” while breathing deeply, it’s like a Zen koan.

Jim, I agree saddening and maddening.
Brooke, a koan indeed!

Im not sure what is more embarrassing, that they are doing this in the name of Christ, or that canton is about 40 minutes from my home town of Sylva. I grew up in nonsense such as this.

Nick, you can’t help where you come from…so I would say the only thing embarrassing is the 1st option. Thanks for stopping by the blog!
